1 Control of noise from the operation of stationary systems This factsheet aims to explain the objectives which are expected to be adopted and the measures that are expected to be put in place to control the effects of noise from the operation of stationary systems designed and installed by the nominated undertaker as part of the Proposed Scheme. It does not cover rail-served or other installations provided by the nominated undertaker for other parties affected by the scheme and not intended for use by the HS2 operator as part of the operational HS2 system. Version 2.0 Last updated: October 2018
2 1. Introduction High Speed Two (HS2) is the Government s proposal for a new, high speed north-south railway. The proposal is being taken forward in phases: Phase One will connect London with Birmingham and the West Midlands. Phase 2a will extend the route to Crewe. Phase 2b will extend the route to Manchester, Leeds and beyond (the Proposed Scheme ) The construction and operation of Phase One of HS2 is authorised by the High Speed Rail (London West Midlands) Act (2017). In July 2017, the Government introduced a hybrid Bill to Parliament to seek powers for the construction and operation of Phase 2a. A hybrid Bill to seek powers for the construction and operation of Phase 2b is expected to be introduced to Parliament in HS2 Ltd is the non-departmental public body responsible for developing and promoting these proposals. The company works to a Development Agreement made with the Secretary of State for Transport The work to produce the Phase 2b Bill will include an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the results of which will then be reported in an Environmental Statement (ES). The ES would be submitted alongside the Phase 2b Bill when it is introduced to Parliament. The emerging findings of the EIA are reported in a working draft Environmental Statement (WDES) 1 that is being consulted on in late As was the case with Phase One and Phase 2a, when the Phase 2b Bill is introduced to Parliament the Secretary of State will also publish draft Environmental Minimum Requirements (EMRs). The EMRs will set out the environmental and sustainability commitments that will be observed in the construction of Phase 2b A series of information papers were produced for the Phase One and Phase 2a hybrid Bills, explaining the commitments made in those Bills and EMRs. It is the Secretary of State s intention to follow a similar process for the Phase 2b Bill. These information papers for Phase 2b will be used to provide information about Phase 2b itself, the powers contained in the Phase 2b Bill when it is introduced to Parliament and how decisions on Phase 2b have 1 The WDES presents draft environmental information based on a stage in the ongoing design and assessment process for the Proposed Scheme. It includes a description of the existing environment; an evaluation of the anticipated environmental impacts of the Proposed Scheme; and the measures currently being proposed to manage these anticipated impacts. The WDES will be updated for the preparation of the formal ES to reflect any changes made to the Proposed Scheme following consultation, and any changes made following further work on the design and EIA, between now and when the ES is submitted alongside the hybrid Bill. A guidance document explaining the contents of the WDES and how to navigate it has been produced alongside the WDES. Page 2
3 been reached. It is currently proposed that these information papers for Phase 2b will be published at the time the Phase 2b Bill is introduced in Parliament The Secretary of State for Transport will be the Promoter of the Phase 2b Bill. The Promoter will also eventually appoint a body responsible for delivering the Proposed Scheme under the powers to be granted by the Phase 2b Bill. This body will be known as the nominated undertaker. There may well be more than one nominated undertaker. However, any and all nominated undertakers will be bound by the obligations contained in the Phase 2b Bill, the policies established in the Phase 2b EMRs and any commitments provided in the Phase 2b information papers These Phase 2b factsheets have been produced to provide information on the emerging proposals for measures to manage the design process for Phase 2b and to control impacts which may arise from the construction and operation of the Proposed Scheme. These measures may then be applied to Phase 2b as commitments made through the eventual Phase 2b Bill, EMRs or information papers. 2. Overview This factsheet aims to explain the objectives which are expected to be adopted and the measures that are expected to be put in place to control the effects of noise from the operation of stationary systems designed and installed by the nominated undertaker as part of the Proposed Scheme. It does not cover rail-served or other installations provided by the nominated undertaker for other parties affected by the scheme and not intended for use by the HS2 operator as part of the operational HS2 system The term stationary systems is used to describe the following: tunnel ventilation including; mechanical ventilation at intervention shafts and tunnel portals; and tunnel draught (pressure) relief shafts. trackside equipment (particularly electrical equipment such as autotransformer feeder stations); static equipment located at stations such as mechanical ventilation plant, chillers etc.; and static sources located within depots such as mechanical plant, pumps, carriage wash plant, wheel lathes and stationary trains The level and nature of sound produced by all of these systems and the ability to practicably control the sound emissions will vary significantly. Page 3
4 Therefore, this factsheet is designed to ensure an appropriate level of consistency in the approach to be applied, whilst ensuring a suitable level of flexibility to address different situations and circumstances. 3. Objectives The nominated undertaker would design, construct, operate and maintain the stationary systems so that the rating level of the fixed installations in normal operation at the worst affected residential receptor, minus the background level, is not more than 5 db, determined in accordance with BS4142: Where it is not reasonably practicable to achieve this objective, the nominated undertaker would develop and adopt robust procedures to ensure that sound from all stationary systems is reduced as far as is reasonably practicable In such cases, the nominated undertaker would design, construct, operate and maintain the stationary systems so that, under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances, the rating level of the stationary systems in normal operation at the worst affected residential receptor, minus the existing background level, is not more than +5 db, determined in accordance with BS4142: The above steps would help to achieve the Government s noise policy (as set out in the Noise Policy Statement for England), in so far as: the steps to be taken to control and reduce adverse effects of noise from stationary systems as far as is reasonably practicable is consistent with HS2 Ltd Environmental Policy and supports the second aim of the Government s noise policy, which is to minimise adverse effects on health and quality of life as far as is sustainable; and specifying noise limits so as to not exceed a rating level of +5 db above the background level would ensure that likely significant effects will be avoided. This would achieve the first aim of the Government s noise policy which is to avoid significant adverse effects on health and quality of life Special consideration would be given to the assessment of sound from stationary systems when the background level is low, namely where the background levels are less than 30 db For non-residential receptors, the methodology set out in BS4142:2014 is not relevant and does not apply. However, the nominated undertaker would Page 4
5 control sound from stationary systems at noise-sensitive non-residential receptors to avoid significant observed adverse effects on that receptor. 4. Control measures The objectives set out in this factsheet are expected to apply to all stationary systems that affect any noise sensitive receptor The nominated undertaker will assess the sound from stationary systems at the nearest residential receptor based on the principles set out in BS4142:2014. This methodology requires an assessment of the sound produced by the stationary system under assessment against the background level The surveys used to define the background levels will need to be carried out at the time of the detailed design. This will ensure that the background level will be established using up to date and robust information. It is expected that the nominated undertaker will undertake the following steps to control noise from the stationary systems: specify noise limits and incorporate acoustic requirements into contract documents such that they will apply to the design of all the stationary systems that are to be installed and operated as part of the Proposed Scheme; determine the relevant background levels and establish these jointly with the relevant local authorities; procure, install and commission stationary systems, including sound attenuation equipment that meets the specification requirements; where it is not possible to achieve the lower design objective (noise rating to be 5dB below the background level), provide details to the relevant local authority (whose comments will be taken into consideration) of the steps to be taken to ensure that, under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances, the design and procurement processes for stationary systems are adequate to achieve compliance with the design criteria; and before formal operation of the stationary system, complete a standard suite of acceptance tests as necessary to demonstrate that the operational sound levels achieve the design criteria. 5.
